Tributes

This image served as the background of the poster for the two-day tribute to the Kallimartyrs. 

The photograph depicts the artist herself. Direction and production are by Stefanos Papazapraïdis, who drew inspiration from her forthcoming literary work. The image was also used as the background for the poster of the tribute held in memory of the “Kallimartyrs” — a group of women from Ioannina who were drowned in the lake by order of Ali Pasha in the early 19th century, together with the historical figure of Kyrá Frosyni. The term “Kallimartyrs” refers to women whose beauty, dignity, and independence became the reason for their persecution and martyrdom. 

The term “Kallimartyrs” etymologically derives from the neologism kallos (beauty) and martyrs, meaning “martyrs of beauty.”
